From what I understand the wisdom teeth come in horizontally, growing from the back of the jaw toward the regular back molar. Ideally, as they grow they will rotate toward the vertical. If not completely vertical when finished growing that is like a pyramid. When the wisdom tooth eventually touches the back molar without being vertical enough, that is considered impacted.
I had one that was staying horizontal, not emerging, and that might have been the only one that was pushing my other teeth closer together to where it was getting difficult to floss.
I don't have such a wide jaw either and it was a godsend that the oral surgeon was a highly dedicated South Asian having narrow palms and longer fingers than so many others, because the horizontal tooth had to be removed surgically.
